Grace took Deep breaths to calm herself down. She was already scared and all these high class

people were making her anxious.

Dominick led her towards the chair and made her sit. Grace gulped, she doesn't understand who made

this thing and for what.

Dominick knelt in front of her, he gently lifted her dress up. Not too much, just for his head. Her gown

was long and fluffy so it was covering everything. Dominick placed kiss on her thigh and grabbed the

garter belt between his teeth, he easily slide it off of her leg and came out. Everyone cheered when he

threw it back towards the crowd of bachelors.

He fixed Grace's dress and helped her to stand.

Grace didn't say anything, she was silent but there was storm of emotions inside her. She never

thought that her wedding day will be the saddest day of her life.

Dominick led her towards the dance floor and took her in his embrace. She swayed with him as he led Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

her movements.

"I am very happy today"

He whispered in her ears.

"You have no idea how much I have waited for this moment."

"Will you let my father go now?"

She asked ignoring his words. She was in no mood to entertain him.

Dominick sighed frustratingly.

"Your father doesn't deserve you"

He gritted.

"He is my only family"

She replied.

"I am your family now..."

He countered.

"I want to know about my father..."

She said In irritated voice.

"He is fine... I am not going to hurt him."

Dominick sighed.

"Why do you care about that man so much?"

"He found me on streets, my biological parents left me to die... He didn't ignored me when I needed

family then how can I abandon him in his difficult situation.... I can't let him die, I owe him my life. If

something happens to him then i will never forgive you..."

She said looking straight into his eyes.

Dominick looked at her but didn't say anything. He had no idea that she was orphan. Now he

understood why this girl is ready to sacrifice her life for that man.

They finished their dance with claps of crowd and everyone went for dinner.

Grace sat beside him ignoring the chattering of people and clicking of cutlery.

Sha has no appetite.

She looked at her plate while everyone was eating, his whole family was there and no one was from

her side. She was feeling alone. She kept staring at her plate.

Dominick sighed looking at her. He brought his spoon to her mouth and she looked at him confused.

"Awe he is so romantic."

Someone from the guest cheered.

Grace forcefully opened her mouth and ate it not wanting to create a scene.

Anamika smiled looking at Dominick's changed behavior but now she was doubting Grace's behavior.

She noticed that Grace doesn't look happy which made her confused.

"It reminds me of our marriage"

Massimo whispered to her and she smiled.

"Same here... You made it so special for me."

Anamika replied.

"Ofcourse if not for you then it's a waste"

He teased.

"But i am not sure if this girl can take responsibilities or not... Look at her."

"Exactly Massimo... Look at her. She is so innocent."

Anamika said.

"Dominick need it in his life... He is always surrounded by negativity, she will brighten his life... I was

worried in the beginning but they finally marriage each other."

"Whatever"

He rolled his eyes.

"Anyway not all men can handle woman like you"

"Like me? Really?... And what kind of woman am i?"

She teased.

He smiled.

"Marvelous, stunning, beautiful, smart, brave, fierce, kind and cunning... And many more. I can't put it

in words."

He looked at her adoringly.

"And what you like the most about me."

She asked.

"Your mind... To be honest you are the first person who makes me scared. I can't tell what's going in

that cunning mind."

He said and she chuckled.

"I'll take it as a compliment"

She smiled.

Raajnandini was sitting with her friends while Alexander was dealing with Bella.

But everyone was happy except Grace.

They finished the dinner and finally it was time for bouquet toss.

All girls stood behind her excited. Grace took a deep breath and tossed the bouquet.

Everyone cheered when Raajnandini caught it but her family wasn't happy.

Grace walked out of the hall with Dominick. Her smile disappeared when she stepped out, she was

tired of that fake smile.

She entered in his bedroom which was decorated for their first night. Her heart felt sting.

'this is my life now... He will use me like a sex toy. All my dreams shattered within one day. I couldn't get

a man whom I will love, that dream of happy family died today... Everything ended. My freedom, my

happiness, my peace he destroyed everything.... I will be nothing but a slave for him, completely at his

mercy. There won't be any love or respect... I don't want this life...'

She broke down.

She covered her face and started crying her heart out.

She felt his hands on her shoulders and her breathing quickened knowing what's coming ahead.

She closed her eyes and sobbed when he unzipped her dress.
